UPDATE: Live ordnance found in Agat

Just after midnight, Guam Fire Department's Agat station received a call about a live ordnance found in the village.

It's unclear whether the ordnance detonated but Guam Fire Department officials said there was white smoke visible at Finile Drive in Agat.

GFD spokesman Lt. Phil Camacho said no one was hurt. Explosive ordnance personnel arrived at the scene around 1:45 a.m. and confirmed that it was a phosphorous round - a type of incendiary weapon that is used to create smoke for cover or burn through metal or other objects.

Camacho said EOD personnel secured the ordnance around 2;15 a.m. and secured the site shortly thereafter.

Officials couldn't say where the ordnance came from but did note that it was possibly one of many pieces of unexploded ordnance, shells or other military weapon left behind after World War II.

Guam, having been the site of intense battle between Japanese and American forces during the war, is littered with forgotten war paraphernalia - including unexploded ordnance. It isn't uncommon for people to find them tucked away in some corner of a cave or dense area of the jungle, or buried in dirt or sand only to be dug up by workers building a home, road or other project.

Officials have warned residents that if they find items that they believe could be unexploded ordnance to leave it alone and call 911 immediately. The item may have been buried or tucked away for decades without exploding, but it could potentially explode if they are moved or even touched.
